You know what to do: Worry less. Sleep more. Respond, not react. Be self-disciplined. Control your temper. Say ‘no’ more. Take better care of yourself. And you would do them too, if only your job weren’t so stressful, day-to-day life was easier, someone would help out…if only it weren’t a pandemic, you weren’t plagued by your past, you weren’t so scattered. But 'if only' never comes and the things you know you should do, don’t happen. In quiet moments, you wonder if it’ll always be like this. You want to change. You want hope. You want ease. What if I told you that the ease you seek is possible, even when life is challenging?
Therapy can help you change. I can help you understand your emotions and thoughts to get to the root of your struggles. You'll feel heard and seen in a way that promotes self-acceptance, which is the first step to changing. We’ll have conversations you’ve never had before, so that you'll know yourself better, feel self-compassion, and live with more ease.
Part of you thinks therapy can help. It's why you are here, reading this. Let my words nudge you to take the action that aligns with who you want to be - the type of person moves who towards change even when it's uncomfortable. "Compassion is always born of understanding and understanding is the result of looking deeply" Thich Nhat Hans
